What thickness of ply is needed, to go over conventional floorboards, in preparation for laying some form of lino / cushion floor.

Would the same thickness be need for a second toilet, but that has chipboard flooring.

A joiner is coming to do the work on Friday, but I have to buy the plywood in advance. Unfortunately, he is away at the moment, so can not contact him to ask.

thanks in advance

For lino you are just looking for FLAT stable surface to lay on so assuming boards are level just 6-9mm ply will be fine, chipboard is ok as is, if in good condition.
 
I've just had my floor done and I put down 12mm Marine ply, the floor guy then applied an adhesive to the floor and then a thin screed which he sanded and put down vinyl tiles. It looks the dogs.......!

The ply was screwed every 200mm, which was easy as I had removed the kitchen ceiling to check for pipe work.
